Pat Lam came to the defence of two of his homegrown players who have caught some flak in recent weeks following the late collapse away at Saracens.
The Bristol director of rugby labelled critical comments about Andy Uren and Callum Sheedy from the club’s fanbase as ‘disappointing’ as he spoke after the Bears’ 43-19 victory over Sale Sharks in the Premiership Rugby Cup.
Half-backs Uren and Sheedy both excelled at Ashton Gate with the Welshman, aided by front foot ball from his pack, delivered quickly by his scrum-half, outplaying Sale’s headline returnee George Ford who was making his competitive return after seven months out with an Achilles injury suffered in the Premiership final back in June.
